Competition Details:

Print n Fly, a new initiative from DroneSoc, showcases the potential of 3D printing - you can 3D print yourself a flying drone! Following on from the DroneX event last year (all about the future of making), Print n Fly is a competition created to test the boundaries of drone design.

Supported by Autodesk, as well as Imperial College’s Advanced Hackspace and Aerial Robotic Lab, DroneSoc’s first competition will bring all resources to the (literal) fingertips of participants.

Participants will be taught how to use the latest and greatest in 3D CAD, and the best submissions will be 3D printed.

Chosen teams will make their drones using the incredible new tools available at Imperial College’s Advanced Hackspace, and can iterate on their design before the final race day.

The finalists will go head to head at the Aerial Robotics Lab to see which drones are best

SO SIGN UP FOR THE WORKSHOP!

Submissions will be judged in 2 categories: Best Racing, or Best Creative. Open to all, the competition brings not only the best, but also the wackiest ideas to life.

Workshop details:

First up in Print n Fly is a workshop by Autodesk on Fusion 360. Bring your laptops and join experts from Autodesk to learn how to set up and use Fusion 360.You will also be led in creating and testing drone designs.

During the workshop you will get to network and form teams for the competition. Whether you’re interested in drone racing, drone design and optimisation, or just want to see what all this hype about 3D printing and drones is all about, you’ll find both like-minded people as well as people who see things differently here. At the end of the day, you’ll be in charge of deciding who you want to team up with!

If that hasn’t convinced you already - there will be a free lunch :D
